Weather in August

As August unfolds in Ellis, summer's fervor begins to wane slightly, yet the weather remains predominantly warm. Temperatures range between a warm 68°F (20°C) to a high scale of 89.8°F (32.1°C), a slight decline from July, hinting at the slowly approaching autumn. The month's long daylight hours continue to invite residents outdoors, even though August has the year's highest rainfall. With August, Ellis starts bidding farewell to the sweltering summer, making the most of those last few balmy days.

Temperature

During August, Ellis observes a subtle ascent to a still tropical 89.8°F (32.1°C) from July's 92.8°F (33.8°C) in the average high-temperature. In Ellis, the average temperature during the nights of August marks a significant drop from the daily high, settling at an agreeable 68°F (20°C).

Heat index

During August, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
